This jubilant collection seems to draw inspiration from the glamorous silver screen starlets of the 1930s and the buttoned-up wartime babes of the decade following, modernizing these historical reference points with futuristic details like hard metallics, geometric structures and padded shapes garnishing structured shoulders and bodices, peekaboo sheer panels, chopped hemlines (with or without floor-length capes), and over-the-knee boots and tights. This tasteful blend of past and future makes for a collection that is eclectic, interesting, and dripping with drama and glamor.
